shockwave standard vs bonded
Guys,
I had bought some 200 grain bonded shockwaves last year and compared them to myregular shockwave in 250 grains at the beginning of the season. Iwasn't happy with the accuracy of the 200sin my gun using 110 or 125grains of 777. So, I pretty much punted and figured I would stay with my regular load until the season was over.
So, yesterday I am in wallyworld and they have some of the 250 grain shockwaved bonded bullets on sale. I figured, what the heck, should shoot the same as the regular 250s,,,, right?
Well, I go to the range before I went hunting on Saturday and shoot three. Everything is the same. Same gun, same primer, same 110 grains of powder,,,, but not the same group. Those suckers were all over the place. Go back and shoot three of the regular 250s, solid group just over an inch. Go figure.
So, my question is, has anyone else done a comparison? Or is my gun just not liking the bonded bullets. Other than the pretty blue tip, I cant tell the difference in the bullet or the sabot. The sabot looks exactly the same.
